Abstract

New shop concepts are continuously developed and more or less successfully introduced. Usually, new shop concepts are perceived as threats by the established retail industry, which reacts differently to these threats. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the retail trade's behaviour in connection with the introduction of new shop concepts. In the article, the discount stores' penetration of the Danish grocery market will be used to prepare a model. The development within the discount industry in Denmark has, however, not yet come to an end. The established chains still have development plans, and a new aggressive player – Lidl – is entering the market with a shop concept that differs from the concepts of the incumbent discount chains. This has already caused reactions from competitors, suppliers, and other interested parties. It would be interesting to investigate, if it is possible to use the model prepared for the previous period, to predict future developments.
